21/7: Crossing the last of the Santa Ynez Mountains, we were met by the view of Santa Barbara.
We made it down to the beach before the sun set. Apart from the beach facing south, and therefore not having the sun set in the ocean, my first impression of Santa Barbara was that of a typical southern Californian beach resort. Tourists, plam trees lining wide boulevards and sand.
But I guess the Spanish influenced architecture made it pretty special, after all.
